REGARDING:
“y’all don’t know how it feels to lose a loved one”

Sure we do.
Most of us have lost loved ones.
Not all that many of us have lost them because they were in the process of armed robbery and preparation for murder after an escalating pattern of criminal activity, though.

David for avoiding the avoidable

David… I couldn’t agree more. After that last good village was created in the ’70s, “they” broke the mold.

Another reason for a death in a crime. Now tax dollars will house this useless individual for the next 20 year, and someone will have to watch him for another 10. Being 16 now, he will be nearly 40 (more likely 30) when he is let out of prision….totally useless to society, living off the state and returning to crime. to survive. When we the governemtn learn to cut its loss. There is no return on the investment on individual like this.

CONSIDERING:
“maybe Hillary Clinton was right when she said “it takes a village to raise a child”. ”

I love Hillary Clinton like a mother, but what if the village isn’t interested in raising the child? I’m not saying they shouldn’t, but that so many villagers jump on you and tell you it’s none of your business what the kid is doing even if he is playing in the street with other children racing up and down with their new learner’s permits. Different groups assume some bias on the part of law enforcement if there’s not an even percentage of people arrested from all ethno/economic groups. It’s like their brains have shut down.

Further, you have geniuses who will proclaim as if it came from the mouth of God that assorted disciplines are damaging to his ego and that he can’t be expected to act maturely until he is at least 24 because his brain isn’t fully developed yet.

Contrast those statements with the children you’ve known who acted decently since they were ten years old but the villagers disagree they exist because they’ve never seen a decent acting child.

This is a great day for people who work hard and try to live an honest life. We shouldn’t have to put up with this type of behavior and I celebrate everytime another thug bites the dust. Our area is riddled with so many young people who have lost their way. We can blame it on parenting all we want, but that’s just the beginning. When I was this kids age, I got disciplined and corrected by my relatives, neighbors, the manager at the corner store, teachers, sports coaches, and anyone else who saw me slipping – that was in the early ’70s. Today, you can’t say anything to a child that’s not your own without being subjected to the angst of the child’s parents, relatives, or even local authorities. I hate to say it, but maybe Hillary Clinton was right when she said “it takes a village to raise a child”. I thank God to this day for the butt chewings and spankings I got over the years and feel grateful (although a little embarassed now that I’m older) for the various adults who took the time to keep me in line.
